after the devastating earthquake in and the destruction of 90% of the city, the consolidation of a number of government buildings into an office complex was considered on a 20,000 square meter land and its design was assigned to Sharestan Consulting Engineers. In the design of this collection, loyalty and respect for local architecture and the use of Iranian architectural patterns have been clearly one of the primary design goals. Creating a central courtyard, adapted to the climate, shapes the overall landscape of the design.
In response to the hot and dry climate of Bam; The location of the building in relation to sunlight is a determining factor. Receiving proper light in winter and avoiding the intensity of radiation in summer, pays attention to the rotation of the building relative to the axes of the site.
To this end, the buildings bring natural light to the middle of the buildings in the right climatic direction of the location and the central courtyards, and the green cover provided in it, by softening the air and creating visual attraction, brings the spirit of life inside the building. From the unique and exceptional architecture of Bam Citadel, the symbol of this historic city, its towers were borrowed to follow the sign of this building in this building.
In another step, bricks; These native and durable materials with excellent capabilities in composition and arrangement, were prioritized and its red color was chosen. To be considered and executed for the facade of buildings with traditional execution in different role-playing. The buildings were located in five location. In locating office spaces, the main idea is to create integrated and large surfaces with the formation based on a modular pattern, with the ability to be divided into smaller spaces, in addition to which, the establishment of service spaces in fixed positions in the plan is envisaged. The basic modulus of 2.5 meters is the basis for organizing micro-spaces, which is the criterion for the installation of structural openings, internal partition walls, position of windows, lights and installation valves; In such a way that after the integrated and complete implementation of flooring and false ceilings, light interior partition walls, based on the needs and requests of the operator, easily and with the least changes, on this modular network, organize spatial divisions and provide the required spaces. The “garden pit” pattern along the main entrance shapes the public spaces of the complex into a negative alignment. A semi-open public space, with the possibility of natural ventilation, which plays the role of a collective space when holding ceremonies during celebrations and mourning, where the implementation of the tent cover provided in the design could complete the idea. Finally, this building was put into operation in 2007 with the efforts of the colleagues of these consulting engineers and the implementation of the company and the support of the executive bodies.
